Bear Attack Survivor Recounts Ordeal On Facebook

A battered and blood-streaked survivor of a bear attack says in a video he shot on his way to the hospital that the animal attacked him twice as he played dead before hiking 5km to his truck to seek help.

Todd Orr, 50, posted the graphic video, along with photos and a story, about Saturday's attack in southwestern Montana's Madison River valley on his Facebook page.

The video shows Orr with blood streaming down his face from a deep gash on his head and what he described as "pieces of stuff" hanging from his mangled arm."Yeah, life sucks in bear country," Orr said in the video.

A number listed for Orr rang unanswered Monday. A message left for a relative was not returned, and Orr did not answer emails sent to addresses associated with him.
